Unsold trees form maze at Linvilla

Now that the Christmas season is over, there are a few post-holiday questions that arise.

What do the thousands of Santa Clauses do with their time for the other 10 months of the year?

What percentage of gifts received end up in a re-gifting pile?

What happens to all the unsold Christmas trees that were still on sellers’ lots on December 26?

Linvilla Orchards in Media can provide an answer to one of the questions.

Most of the time, the unsold trees are just made into mulch or end up in landfills. This year, Linvilla Orchards has developed a new “green” plan to use Christmas trees that were never bought.

Now through March 4, Linvilla is presenting the Ultimate Recycled Maze. More than 1,500 unsold Christmas trees have been collected from around the region to create this exciting new attraction that is fun for all ages.

The Ultimate Recycled Maze can be navigated in as little as 30 minutes, but most visitors need almost an hour to get through the intricate labyrinth. The trees have been strategically placed to challenge participants’ sense of direction as they walk through a green wonderland of recycled trees.

The maze may be an outdoor activity, but Linvilla also has an indoor attraction to go along with it. Visitors can play a round of miniature golf at “Fore! the Planet”, which is located inside Linvilla’s Garden Center.

After the Christmas Tree Maze is over, the trees will be recycled. They will be chipped and used as fuel to heat the green house where the miniature golf course is located.
